Greenfield pair charged in stabbing, strangling

GREENFIELD -- Sheriff's deputies say vodka fueled a domestic dispute on Kilmer Road earlier this month that resulted in a woman being strangled with a T-shirt and a man being stabbed with a steak knife.

Christina M. Tanski, 43, and Christopher R. Myers, 34, both of Kilmer Road, are facing charges in connection with the March 9 incident.

Saratoga County sheriff's deputies sent out a press release outlining the crime Friday. According to the release, the two got into an argument the afternoon of March 9, and while Tanski was "cooking sauce on the stove," Myers "placed a T-shirt around the neck of Tanski ... and wound it tighter and tighter."

Tanski then allegedly grabbed a nearby steak knife and stabbed Myers three to five times in the leg. Myers ran for help and Tanski fled the scene, deputies said.

She surrendered to sheriff's deputies later that night. When Myers was released from the hospital, he was also arrested.

Tanski was charged with second-degree assault, a felony. She was released on her own recognizance.

Myers was charged with criminal obstruction of breathing, a misdemeanor, and held on bail.
